Portrait of Adhisty Zara and Ari Irham Sharing the Secret of Chemistry on Set, Relaxed Reading Like Hanging Out Together

"Actually, to build chemistry, we are all here in the cast mostly around the same age. And during the reading, it feels more like hanging out, like playing, because when we read, we have fun, joking around, chatting, even though we still work seriously, but there’s still that side to it," said Ari Irham at XXI Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, Friday (4/7/2025).

Adhisty Zara added, even though this film presents a story and scenes that are quite heavy, the atmosphere on set remains enjoyable and full of laughter. This is thanks to the cheerful personalities of the cast and the very relaxed directing approach from Rako Prijanto. 

"Even though the story is heavy, the scenes are heavy, but because the kids are fun, and Uncle Rako is also very relaxed, it doesn’t feel heavy to go through it," said Adhisty Zara

"Even during filming, we joked around and had fun," added Ari Irham.

It's no surprise that the chemistry between Adhisty Zara and Ari Irham looks so natural, considering the closeness they have developed over time. Both expressed that Bertaut Rindu is the second film that brings them together in a single big-screen project. 

"So the chemistry seems like it doesn't need to be questioned, because all the kids like to hang out together, so it feels just like hanging out," said Zara.

This film will be released soon and is expected to become a favorite among many viewers, with the great chemistry of the two main actors as one of its main attractions.

This enjoyable behind-the-scenes process is certainly reflected in the final result of the film that audiences can enjoy on July 31.
